It's my son phone. I do know the the holes are not covered. I think it is so the coloring of the phone shows. My son has dropped on poo be a couple of times and the phone seems ok.

The thickness of the case keeps anything from touching the phone. One would have to work really hard to scratch the back of your phone. I love this case!

This cover looks to be about 1/16-inch thick ... the series of holes are good protection. To scratch the phone, something would have to "reach" inside one of the holes. Highly unlikely!

The holes are not covered by anything, but this lets the color of your phone show throw and the signature Apple emblem. It protects since the cover is thick enough from the back coming in contact with a flat surface. I suppose it isn't completely scratch proof if something sharp were to be inserted where the holes are, but this would be unlikely. I feel this cover adequately protects my phone.

Yes to scratches on the back and sides, as well as the screen, if the cover is closed (I would also recommend a screen protector - I have the ZAGG InvisibleSHIELD).Good for small falls (1-3ft), but if you're looking for something that can withstand regular falls or ones that may occur in outdoor environments regularly, I'd recommend the LifeProof case.

I have had it for over a month and there is not a mark on the back. I believe it is made of a rubber-like material and is very durable. I have been very happy with this case so far. No complaints!!

It attaches to phone instead of battery hatch. So, yes partially covers the back.

I don't remember seeing one. But I have taken it out of the case and te phone isn't scratched. On the back like some cases.

It is a bumper surrounding the perimeter of the phone that is black (I have seen white ones) there is a lip that protects the front and back of phone but they are otherwise totally exposed and uninstructed.

I would say it would do a good job of hiding scratches. The cover is black except for where the Apple logo shines through and then the openings for ports on the side and vents on the bottom.

It is just a cut out but I don't recommend this case period it scratched up the back of my phone i don't know how but it did and it wasn't due to sand

There really isn't a "front." Your phone sort of slips into it and the case hugs the edges. It provides minimal protection.The back surface is wooden, while the sides are some sort of plastic. One of my plastic sides broke off after a month or two.They looks really cool, but if you're looking for something that provides protection and will stand the test of time, look elsewhere.

No, it covers only the back and edges. If you just want to protect your screen from scratches, you can get clear screen protectors. I got a three pack of iFlash bubble free screen protectors through Amazon. If your looking to protect the screen from drops or more serious damage, you'll have to look at another solution.

Yes. When I dropped my mobile in my gravel parking lot it did not go through the protective covering to the screen of my phone. Upon further inspection there were no scratches or cracks on my screen. The only damage was a small hole in the first layer of the screen protector. I will be buying more for my other electronics.

It isn't covered at all. It's covers the back and side only. This is very sturdy. Just get a screen protector.

No it doesn't have protection sheet for the back. You can make one by ordering a cover for bigger phone and cutting it to size with scissors. It won't stick to the curved edges very well....fyi

It is just a basic screen protector. It is for the front of the phone. I love it, I have had it for a little over a year. I can rinse it and let it dry and re-use it, definitely worth the purchase. If you want one for the back they have ones made for that.

There is no cover over the front of the phone. But for me personally, I don't like my glass covered with any protective plastic or such. The back of the phone obviously has a hole for the camera and the apply insignia, but the case is think enough such that the surface isn't flush with the case so the camera and apple insignia is protected. The same goes for the headphone, speaker and charger holes. And there's a hole for the mute bottom on the side but the vilumn buttons are completed covered but operable.

It is hard plastic and though it does not cover the front part, it has like a small rim around the front part all around the phone. The rim can hardly been seen and or felt, but, it is there. Hope this helps

No. Its a clear/see thru back cover that slips onto the phone. Recommend a screen protector if you don't have one.
